Music that sounds like drugs

[page]

Once again I gotta add

Zeni Geva: The Heaviest Band in the universe . Listening to them is like an acid trip that shows you the destruction of the universe while adding moments for you to bask in your trip.
check them out now or K.K. Null, their Japanese/German leader, will assault your dreams....

www.kknull.com


also I gotta add Dalek.

[Muzique Fann]

some Zappa, Phish, Grateful Dead, Doors etc.
Juneau made a nice call on the 'Fred.

check out the old song Golden Brown by The Stranglers and tell me those guys weren't using Lots of Heavy Drugs.

I've been on a big Flaming Lips kick recently -
the Soft Bulletin and Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots fit the bill here (as does their older punky stuff).

[alapantera]

Porcupine Tree "Voyage 34 - The Complete Trip"

of course some would say most music is "enhanced" by drugs... I still prefer music itself as my drug of choice.

[slugworth]

The Beatles "I Am the Walrus" sounds pretty druggy to me, and Lennon admits having plenty of LSD on hand during that period in time...The Beatles were heavy into the LSD thing for a while, and it comes thru in their music from '66-'69.

Matt--Some old stuff that definitely fills the bill. Anyone who has used an avatar ripped from the originator of Rodney Toady would need:
Van der Graaf Generator-Pawn Hearts

Also very "trippy":
Miles Davis-Water Babies
Santana-Borboletta
Terry Riley-Rainbow in Curved Air

[page]

Also, I got some rare Captain Beyond live stuff recently that I'd be willing to share if anybody wants some.
The recording is about a "C" quality, but it's not that bad.
I have Live in Montreux 9/18/71
Live in Miami 8/19/72
and Frozen over in Texas 1973

Pm me if you want em.

Twelve Dreams of Dr. Sardonicus by Spirit

The 5000 Spirits or the Layers of the Onion by The Incredible String Band

These cd's are the aural equivalent of being dosed.

Careful.

GOOD PICKS!!!! Ummagumma holds a special place in my heart as well as Spirit's "12 Dreams--"

My band

http://www.onebiggroovemusic.com

It has been described as music written on mushrooms, played on acid, while thinking about ecstacy.

[Trevorus]

Matt, you gotta check out cLOUDDEAD. It's good trippy stuff.

[driver800]

I can't believe no one has mentioned one of the best stoner albums of all time:


Robin Trower- Bridge of Sighs

[Dave Grossman]

How about this:

Revival of thread to mention Faust and Faust's collaboration with Dalek.

Also,this cd I bought of Stravinksy's Nightingale Opera performed in full in the 1970s. This thing is insane.

Yes indeed. Listen to it. Listen to it loud... ...just a decent drummer away from being the greatest record of the last 20 years.

The ORB- "Adventures beyond the ultraworld"
Verve " A storm in heaven"
Slowdive "Souvlaki Space Station"
Philp glass "music in 12 parts"- gets better every time I listen
to it.
Sun Ra... I've no idea what the tape is that I have, but man!

[Manol]

Aphex Twin

Here's a little story, I was taking my dog for a walk, and I was listening to the best of the Doors... this was a few years ago, and they were pretty new to me. I walked for an hour and it felt like 20 minutes. It was a very trippy experience. It's somewhat unrelated, but it is music that you are able to lose yourself in the ambience of it all, but the music has movement as well (rockoutability).

Lets list some of the obvious shall we? Stuff that I know of...
- Hawkwind!!!!!!!!!!!!!
- Early Pink Floyd
- Jefferson Airplane
- The Doors
- Cream (sometimes)
- Early Monster Magnet (some new stuff too)
- We the People
- Comets on Fire


I know there is much more than this that even I know of. But I think you know what I'm looking for.

Note: This is not another "Stoner Rock" thread. Stoner Rock, more often than not is just fuzzed out groovin' riffs. Kyuss usually isn't trippy (they are sometimes)... Fu Manchu... songs about cars don't trip me out.. etc etc. But if there are some stoner rock bands that are ultra trippy, feel free to list them.

I wanna get high on music... and maybe drugs... but mostly music.

Grateful Dead!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!! puts me in the mood

[Benjamin Strange]

I hear that Burnt Infant stuff is pretty trippy.

I used to sit there, stoned, looking at the cover-
(Insert Tommy Chong voice here)
"...like, wow, man...what is it"?

I think we decided it was a hand cupped with the thumb sticking up.
